FP,
I am looking at the SS VZ-24 Bayonet ;Accountability #174; dated 1939 with Phospate finish on the blade. Internal tang looks bright but the external edges are blued?

Richard,
The "bluing" at the edges might just be age - but without seeing it that is just a guess. I am also going to guess that if you did not see it on the blade, the tang/spine will (or should) be marked with a date and some other things. And if this is the bayonet with a cut down muzzle ring. Aside from that, what if anything sets it apart from and makes it an SS Vz. 24 as compared with your other 1939 dated bayonets. ie: are the markings the same, or are they different in any way?
Best Regards, FP
